The Trump dump

Ralph Nader - General Motors is closing five plants in the U.S. Thousands of workers are distraught and some fear losing their homes. In 2016, Trump promised to open *more* auto plants, and urged people to keep their homes. 

CNBC -   U.S. farmers lost their fourth largest customer this week after China officially cancelled all purchases of U.S. agricultural products, a retaliatory move following President Donald Trump’s pledge to slap 10% tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese imports. China’s exit piles on to a devastating year for farmers, who’ve struggled through record flooding and droughts that destroyed crop yields, and trade war escalations that have lowered prices and profits this year.
